Surfing Santa

 Welcome

Nothing for a month, then 2 in a row!

I have an excuse though, I have had a couple of hospital stays, but no pacemaker required yet, although could happen in the future

I used a lot of scraps from my scrap folder to cut out this surfing Santa, and will be sending it to my Aussie grandsons who are keen surfers. All cut out on my Sillhouette Cameo

Sympathy

 

Hello and welcome

Today's card was made using a Stampin Up stamp from the Asian Artistry set.

I have kept it very CAS and coloured the bird to match the base card, which has the front cut on a curve.

It looks like I had better clean my scanner, as those marks are not on the card, so will have to 'Google' what to use for cleaning!

'Good Shot'

 

Hello and welcome back

One of my grandsons has his 15th birthday next week, so I decided on a basketball theme as this is the sport he plays.

I cut the ball and the person on my Sillhouette, and stamped the sentiment ( from Paperbabe Stamps) in orange to match and then used clear detail EP to give it a lovely sheen

Just For You

 

Hello and welcome back

Today's card is the result of browsing through a catalogue of Penny Black from 2004. One of the examples was quite appealing so I cased it for this card. I used a stamp on the left side and then adhered four different washi tapes for the vertical stripes. I mounted the two stickeroos onto some toning cream card and adhered to the card base.

Hello fellow crafters

A quick card that I made this morning using a background that I previously made after watching Kate Crane demo for Paper Artsy, using Infusions. This was the orange colour but a bit more of the walnut crystals showed through. I stamped the image (Paper Artsy Zinis ZN30) on a scrap and coloured with markers

Creative Graphic markers - 35 lemon yellow, 6 pale pink, 46 vivid green, 23 orange, and Copic R01 pinkish vanilla

The wording is stickers by Ranger

Thank you

 

I am back again today with another entry for Allsorts 15th birthday celebration.

I stamped the flower and the message using my Misti, and added a little colour randomly to the flower. Lastly I added the lines with a fine black pen

80th birthday

 

Hello and welcome

I don't usually make 8x8 cards, but was asked for a big size so that the choir members could sign it. It was for the choir leader who is also fond of reading, so I used both suggestions to make the card. The pile of books is 3d layered so that it stands off the page. 80 was cut with my Cameo Silhouette, and the word was stamped and embossed with bright gold EP

Hi all

I am back again today, trying to get some challenges completed before the end of the month.

For this one, I have tried the fractured technique for the first time. I used a Stickeroo trimmed down to a square and added black strips cut from some scraps. The sentiment is an old one from Hero Arts

Colourful Spots!

 

 Hi all and welcome back.

I have made the background for this card using Memento inks, rose bud, love letter, cottage ivy, and new sprout. I used circular ink blending sponges to create the spots. After cutting the 'happy' I embossed it twice with detail black ep, and the birthday is embossed with detail white

Yellow

 

Welcome back, I have not posted anything for over a month as have had family staying since early January

I saw the challenge at Allsorts is for yellow, so decided to case one of the cards that I made a couple of years ago, but this time I used yellow tones of distress inks. The stamp is an unknown one and I added some detail with Smooch ink in a gold colour. The sentiment is from Paperbabe
